Question: 1 / 400

What is the recommended action for attracting attention with a distress cloth?

Burying it under supplies

Wearing it

Spreading it on the cabin or deck top

Wearing it may not be effective if the person is already wearing bright or distinctive colors. Burying it under supplies may make it difficult to see. Keeping it folded for emergencies is also not recommended as it is not easily visible. Spreading it on the cabin or deck top is the recommended action as it allows for the distress cloth to be seen from a distance. This option also keeps the cloth above ground and easily visible to passing ships or planes.
